In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except taxes and new Shintaro Kago daily strips. Keeping to his impressive schedule, Kago has pumped out another 7 short gags for your viewing pleasure at his site. This batch is all over the map, and my quick translations are presented below. Enjoy!

I honestly felt his animated shorts left a lot to be desired. The films of animator Cyriak (channel on youtube) are the closest I've seen resembling the feelings one gets from reading a Kago manga. Kago should write a script for Cyriak to animate.
Otherwise, for future projects, he should team up with a talented animator in Japan and assume the role of writer/director.
It's funny to see how Kago seems to have done several showings in Ekoda, while the time I actually lived in Ekoda, I had to go all the way to Kouenji for the showing. As if he knew.
